Typical Use Cases
In our experience, customs brokerage and consulting services are essential for importers of all experience levels, but some situations can especially benefit from additional guidance.
Filling out the required documentation: Licensed customs brokers help you navigate complex documentation requirements, ensuring all necessary paperwork is accurate and complete, avoiding costly fines and delays.
Binding rulings on HTS classification: We facilitate the process of obtaining binding rulings, providing certainty and clarity regarding product classification.
Understanding duty and tariff requirements: Import costs can be significantly affected by duties and tariffs. Clear guidance for your specific products ensures you know what to expect and pay only what you owe.
Partner Government Agency (PGA) support: Many commonly imported commodities are regulated by one of the U.S.’s government agencies. Our team ensures seamless collaboration with these agencies, streamlining your import process and avoiding compliance issues.
Anti-dumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) review: Certain products incur tariffs of up to 300% of their value. We review your products to identify potential anti-dumping or countervailing issues, helping you avoid unexpected costs.
Section 301 and duty drawback support: We offer guidance in navigating complex Section 301 tariffs, helping you address impacts to your imports while identifying opportunities to reduce and refund duties.
Providing prior disclosure: Already know of issues with your shipment? We’ll guide you through the process of proactively addressing errors in your import documentation to mitigate potential penalties and compliance risks.
Submitting post summary corrections: Assistance with post-summary corrections assures timely and accurate adjustments to import declarations, so you avoid penalties and maintain compliance.
